Cent van Nederlands Indië,1833 1833

This is a copper coin from the Dutch East Indies, minted in 1833 under King Willem I of the Netherlands. This coin is a small example of numismatic art, a form of art that explores coins and medals. The coin displays the words "NEDER INDIE" and the year "1833" in raised lettering, highlighting the importance of Dutch colonialism in the region. This piece, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to the history of Dutch colonial expansion and the use of coins as currency and symbolic objects.
